The Amazing Spider-Man 2 The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Video Game Thread - Part 1

[Spider-Aziz]

We can ignore this one is a movie based game, and see how it's done
They are going pretty creative with their current series, let's hope they improve the boss fights after the bland unimpressive short lasting basic button tapping fights from their first movie game

 

[Picard Sisko]

I imagine fighting Electro could be pretty cool. Hopefully they don't screw it up.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

I hope they make it better than the Venom vs Electro fight from Ultimate Spider-Man the video game, that battle was really hard the first time

 

[Picard Sisko]

Just because it was difficult doesn't mean the fight was bad though. I like a good challenge, and that fight was really cool.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

The camera made it difficult

They can effectively create their own Arkham style universe now based on the movie universe. They already confirmed that they wont follow the movie route any longer, they instead continue their spin-off universe story and only take cues from the movie sequel (which means they will most likely incorporate their own take on the movie story as a storyline + have other storylines unique to the game).

This could be the Spider-Man game series you guys have been waiting for since they are not 100% stuck to the movie storyline due to them having their own take on the movie universe now.

Not being 100% stuck to the movie storyline is not the issue. ASM the game had a separate story from the movie. The issue here is that it's still a movie tie-in, meaning that the game still suffers the same licensing problems that all movie tie-ins face. Shortened development time frame, more red tape, all creative choices must go thru several authorizations prior to getting green-lit, lacking budget, etc, etc. There's still a good possibility this next game will be an improvement over ASM. I'm not confident it will be anything more than that, unfortunately.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Beenox's new decision is meant to break the red tape
And Spidey movie games are given proper budget
The only restriction remaining is the time frame given to build and polish this game

The attempted that last time with ASM and it was still the same story with how movie tie-ins are developed. Development is hampered by creative choices going thru the meat grinder before getting approved or denied.

Spidey movie games are not given the kind of budget that would result in a AAA title.

Assuming the other two were off the table, shortened development time frame is such a huge killer. You're talking about the difference between an A title and a AAA title. ASM was missing a large chunk of polish just on the gameplay alone not to mention the save game plague it initially had and other glitches.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

They still had some restriction of who to use, they only wanted to make a different story from the movie
This time, they have potential, I will give them the benefit of the doubt since they said it straight; "this is a different timeline"

I want them to succeed. I really do. However, until I see proof of being better I'm keeping my faith and expectations incredibly low.

That's fair, and I'd better keep your level of low optimism myself

 

[Pinkypants]

FFS beenox! Show at least a screenshot geez...

Sure, they've managed to setup the preorder page for the game, but who the hell is preordering this ***** if we dont know what it looks like.

Kinda funny when a game like phantom pain which comes out in 2015 has tons of footage out, then a game that comes out in a few months,zero footage.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Watch Dogs had lots of footage too, and the game will be released next year
Even though it was meant to be released last year

You do make a good point, aside from the 27 seconds teaser we know almost nothing about the game

 

[Picard Sisko]

A poster… a synopsis… a villain list… multiple screenshots… a cast list… anything! Something!

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Why do people require info when most people here will show their disappointment with the game after playing it?

 

[Picard Sisko]

Because I'm curious? And hoping that I won't be disappointed?

 

[FN Spider-man]

I really think they dropped the ball last week it was the perfect time with all the spidey news coming out but hopefully this week and get an idea of what "soon" menas

 

[kbrooksgohan]

My expectations are so low after Amazing Spiderman. Wasn't a horrible game but it wasn't that great either. The free roam was a joke and the missions were so repetitive.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Don't hope, don't hold any expectations, and you won't be disappointed
You don't care much for Beenox previous outputs, there is a big chance this game will disappoint you

 

[Picard Sisko]

You're right...

It's just like their marketing strategy last time. I'm thinking Beenox is french-canadian for vague.

This.

And this.

You're right...

He certainly is.

i am really looking forward to this game, i really enjoyed the first amazing spider-man game. i heard that they are going to add some brand new features to the game which is cool. something i am curious though is if you can collect other spidey suits like you did the first game and if so if they are going to be ones that we have seen in other beenox games.

PS: i wonder if they bring back the ASM1 costume for this newest game? i hope so that would be pretty cool if you had an option of switching suits like you did the Amazing Spider-Man game.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

I assumed for a while they will do the thing they did with Edge of Time in finding Shattered Dimensions save file and importing suits from there
I expect them to add new suits to this game, and make it find the save file of the first Amazing Spider-Man game importing suits from it for Amazing Spider-Man 2

 

[Airnick]

I'm hoping they add the superior spider-man suit into the game.
